Melanie and Maurice

When we arrived at Maurice Hawkin's and Melanie Weisner's table, there was a {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} board already out on the felt and around 10,000 already in the pot. Hawkins had led out of 6,500 and it was on Wesiner to act. After thinking for several moments, Weisner went with a call. When Hawkins tabled {a-Spades}{7-Spades}, his pair of aces were strong enough to send Wesiner's cards into the muck. With that, Wesiner is down to under 20,000 in chips.
